• Oral presentation
• Electronic poster
All abstracts are reviewed as potential oral presentation or electronic poster presentations with the Scientific Committee making the final decision. Submitting authors may wish to limit their abstract to oral presentation or e-poster only. If this option is selected and the author preference cannot be met, the abstract will be rejected. Abstracts with no limit have the best chance of being accepted. If your poster is accepted as an oral presentation, it should be no longer than 8 minutes.
For the abstract to be considered, at least one of the authors must be registered to LATICFA Congress 2022 before August 31th, 2022.
Abstracts limited to e-Poster will not be considered for an oral presentation.
